HELLO TUMBLR!! Been a while, coming at you live with some more thought’s on the, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” franchise!! Specifically two iterations: the IDW Comics and the film, TMNT: Mutant Mayhem.
I’m just gonna come right out and say it, I’ve been seeing a lot of people saying that Mutant Mayhem has a Hamato Yoshi problem— and while it MIGHT, it also MIGHT NOT.
I have a theory. I know, in the age of New Rockstars MCU theories, that’s not very popular to say, and I may sound crazy for even saying any of this, but it is just a theory.
So as we know, Hamato Yoshi is incredibly important to the mythos of the TMNT, and yet… Mutant Mayhem is the only iteration of this universe to have him be completely absent. Does not exist. Not even a reference to him. But why is this? Splinter’s just a street rat? Wasn’t a pet? Interesting. But that brings me to my theory…
In the IDW Comics, Splinter is both a pet rat AND also Hamato Yoshi. To simplify: Yoshi was a man who lived centuries ago, in Feudal Japan. He and his four sons were murdered by the Shredder and reincarnated in the present day as a rat and four baby turtles. Maybe Mutant Mayhem doesn’t have a Hamato Yoshi problem, maybe Splinter’s been lying about their true origin. Leaving out important details because he doesn’t see the need. To him, Shredder isn’t around anymore. He doesn’t see the need to tell his sons about the cosmic origin of their existence.
It would explain how he and the turtles are so skilled when it comes to fighting. Watching martial arts films and youtube tutorials doesn’t make you a ninja! Ninja training does. If I’m right, I’m very excited for the future of the Mutant Mayhem universe, and if I’m wrong? I’m still super excited! I think it’d be neat if the Splinter/Shredder dynamic was shaken up. Though, I do hope I’m right. The reincarnation origin is my favorite so far.
Anyway, that’s it! Hope ya enjoyed my ramblings. Love ya’ll. PEACE!
Pizza Pit is my ultimate favorite Rise episode for like many reasons with this scene being one of them
Donnie going full-on theorizing mode. Raph being concerned yet still listening to Don’s shenanigans (barely). Leo was not having it and wanted to shut it down real quick.
Oh and here’s Mikey. (I think this is when he was on the brink of insanity)
